Computer monitors aren't great for color rendition, and neither are the chip charts in the brochures.
IMHO, the "right" color for a given car varies widely depending on make, model, lighting conditions, etc. I would NEVER choose a color based on anything except an in-person viewing, and some cars just don't look good in certain colors. For example, I had an Audi in a color called "cashmere gray." It's a great color, but there is nothing gray about it, it's a kind of metallic brown that would change colors under different lighting. So glad I saw it and didn't just make a decision based on the name.
